So argues Inken von Borzyskowski in\u00a0<em>The Credibility Challenge<\/em>, in which she provides an explanation of why and when election support can increase or reduce violence.<\/p>\n<p>Von Borzyskowski answers four major questions: Under what circumstances can election support influence election violence? How can election support shape the incentives of domestic actors to engage in or abstain from violence? Does support help reduce violence or increase it? And, which type of support\u2014observation or technical assistance\u2014is better in each instance?\u00a0<em>The Credibility Challenge<\/em>\u00a0pulls broad quantitative evidence and qualitative observations from Guyana, Liberia, Kenya, Sierra Leone, and Bangladesh to respond to these questions.<\/p>\n<p>Von Borzyskowski finds that international democracy aid matters for election credibility and violence; outside observers can exacerbate postelection violence if they cast doubt on election credibility; and technical assistance helps build electoral institutions, improves election credibility, and reduces violence. Her results advance research and policy on peacebuilding and democracy promotion in new and surprising ways.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cornellpress.cornell.edu\/book\/9781501736544\/the-credibility-challenge\/#bookTabs=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>More about this volume.<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cornell University Press<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2718","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-publication"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Credibility Challenge: How Democracy Aid Influences Election Violence - EDP Netzwerk<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Cornell University Press The key to the impact of international election support is credibility; credible elections are less likely to turn violent.
